This is my favorite running video. Great song and great footage of Sammy Wanjiru - the greatest half-marathoner and marathoner the world has seen. His unique running style is captured wonderfully on this video. And the tunnel scene sends shivers down my spine. Thanks so much for this!!
I think it would be great tribute to Sammy Wanjiru if perhaps in the next Olypics in 2012 the world would acknowledge Sammy and offer a moment of silence in Sammy's memory. The early death of Sammy in what appears to me to have the markings of foul play is both tragic and leaves the marathon community empty as talents like Sammy only come around once every century.
I will always remember you like this. You lived to run. Thank you for your inspiration thank you for over comming every obstacle to be Olympic champion. Faster Higher stronger- Sammy wanjiru
Hola! gracias por tu comentario. Si te gusta ver a corredores de larga distancia, busca videos de killian Jornet. Es catalan-francés. Un super heroe. Ye me dirás.
As for this run,l think it is an easy cham to him.Later,he participated in another but finished with seventh by losing to defending champion Martin Lel.Martin Lel would win London marathon if he was fine by a sprint.The pace was not fast enough for Samuel by analysis in Granollers half marathon,we can deduce that this only a jogging with posing no energy loss and little pant.
Este chico me parece será el mejor, y obtendra el record en la maratón,pero la obtendrá compitiendo como los grandes y contra los mejores,no solo mirando el reloj y nada más,habría que ver su tiempo en la de Berlin y todos los servicios y ventajas en ese circuito ,a su edad ya tiene la medalla de oro.
thank you. it fits this vid so well. i watch this vid a lot for motivation. can't wait to see Sammy in the London Marathon, then hopefully the record in Berlin!
everyone you see cheering for wanjiru in this video was at least half a marathon behind him

You know that he was a legend because his spectators were the runners of this race.

Hi,, yes, no problem on that. I tried not to bother them so much. It's good to encourage them from sidewalk even from a bike.

Sammy was a true badass marathon racer. The best of the best.
This video is great, i loved his wave in the tunnel. Only Sammy (and maybe Geb) would do that. He will be missed by us. RIP

I'm running the Copenhagen Marathon next sunday. On the back of my shirt I'm going to write "Rest in Peace Sammy Wanjiru 10/11/1986 - 15/05/2011"
I'm going to run 26.2 miles in honor this guy.

Sammy Wanjiru is the greatest!!! He is the half marathon world record holder and the second fastest kenyan ever behind Paul Tergat for the Marathon.
When 18, he ran the 10000 only 23 seconds off the world record!
